Re: Variation between limits
[ QUOTE ]
Do most people experiance significant changes in terms of SD, BB/100 etc as they go through the limits? I am asking because I was crushing .5/1 for 5 BB/100 and now am only beating 1/2 for about 1.25. From looking at my stats I have gotten significantly tighter and more agressive. My VPIP went from 18 to 15 and my PFR went from 6 to 8. Maybe my agression is to blind and not controlled enough? Players at .5/1 seem to call with anything, is this not true with 1/2? I would like to post my PT stats, but I don't know how. If someone could help me out, that would be awsome.

how many hands for each?
you should not have to radically change your game for .5/1 --> 1/2.
in general, as your winrate goes down your SD will go up.
i cannot yet comment meaningfully on your particular situation w/o knowing more. but, yes, it is very common to have lower winrates at higher limits for many reasons -
1. sticker shock (double stakes leads to timid/weird play)
2. more better opponents winning more from you
3. less worse opponents feeding your winrate
4. both 2 and 3 leading to unmasking leaks in your game that you didn't know about/care about at .5/1
5. various psychological issues people commonly have about new games/limits/winrates/expectations/etc...
